Thread: Getting new trailer

Thats what I'm talking about... don't forget one of those 1.1cf fridges, necessity really. Keep cans of chilled Monster (Yamaha), Rockstar (Suzuki), Wine (Ducati) or whatever else...

Forgot about that. LOL See may have to upgrade sooner than I thought. LOL So what do think about the generator. Was looking at some of the Honda models. I know they run real quiet.

Well, we (Army) use the Honda line for the same reason quiet (tactical), as well of course as it being reliable as hell. Change oil, fuel filter routinely and let er' rip. Once you get your configuration set, add it all up, then go for about 1kw over what your plans call for, this will keep you in that 60-80% load rating. Me, I'd like to run two gennies, a smaller one dedicated for an AC (and additional power), then a "main" gennie (even if its the same size) to prevent wet-stacking when not using the AC. I figure the fridge, lights and music will be an "always on" event, but theres plenty of times the AC won't be used, needed, so having its own gennie will keep the lifespan of gennies where I want it. We've ruined a LOT of gennies at work cause of wet-stacking them. We tell the command all the time we need smaller Gen's, but the Big Army not hearing it, would rather spend those precious billions on proven to need replacing stuff.

This one should work out?

Honda EU2000iA Companion

2000 watts, 120V
Built in 30A outlet for easy parallel capability with another EU2000i
Ideal for TV/DVD, satellite, fridge, coffee pot, and more
Great for RV applications
Super quiet
Inverter - stable power for computers and more

I think this one would be to small for everything.

EU1000iA


1000 watts, 120V
Ideal for TV, lights, fans, small power tools and more
Super quiet
Less than 29 lbs!!
Fuel efficient - up to 8.3 hrs on 0.6 gal of gas
Inverter - stable power for computers and more

Me, I would get the 2000iA for the ceiling AC, as most I've been looking at are 13.5k BTU, running 13.8A @ 115v for a mass of 1587watts... so the 2kw will give you that slight bit over you need to not max out the gennie, besides on AC they normally draw less, 12.8A @ 115v for a mass of 1472watts. A 40cup coffee pot will burn at least 1600watts alone. So, use a 2kw for everything else, and then a dedicated 2kw for the ceiling AC/Heat and you'll be golden. Now, I didn't spend a load of time looking around at the ceiling AC units, but again the specs I found were the average of Carrier (and other top brands) 13,500 BTU units, capable of providing HVAC for a 26' RV. Your trailing being much smaller, however not insulated, won't need that much HVAC....maybe only around 8,000BTU if you can find one that range, you should be good with maybe a 1000iA for it.

Thanks, let me see what i can find.

Got bored today. Put a coat of natural shade of stain on the cabinets then put a coat of clear polyurethane over that. Then I started to paint the walls white. Will try to finish up tomorrow. Need to finish taping off everthing first.

lookin good one day i'll get me one and start fixing it up .

What about insulation for walls or ceiling? On my last trailer we used air conditioning duct board for the walls, and then that silver solar bubble stuff for the ceiling.

Will be working on that in the future. Have alot of other things I want to add or install first. The ceiling will be the last thing that i do.

Will try and get some pics tomorrow. Just finished painting the inside .

Frank I have the same trailer in a 7x14 BLACK I like the power inside idea ! I will be working on that next

Mark

I stopped for now. Doing more mods to the bike. Hope to finish the trailer up soon. Next is the TV/DVD and sound system. LOL

looking sweet bro

That looks very nice.
